Title: Has anyone played the vendor lotto games?
Post by: rosannebar on January 19, 2013, 07:38 am
I am spending some spare change on a lotto, crazy 8's.    Has anyone else played or won?    Probably a long shot but what the heck.

Yep, I've won on a fair amount of Silk Road lotteries. It's a fun way to spend your change.  :)

I imagine people must win once in a while.

I actually haven't looked into that. How much are they and what can you win.

Look under the lotto section on Sr.   I think they change all the time.   I played the crazy 8's one.

I have a couple on there on my Vendor's account and they're both legit.

One of them is a lotto which uses a system I designed myself that is verifiable by the players when it's finished but it needs all 255 places to be taken so it's gonna be a long wait!

The other is a random one based on transaction IDs but I looked at the odds for some of these (I'm a computer scientist and work a lot with stats) and to be honest, the odds people put on their lotto games are a little exaggerated.

STILL we all get that spare change thats useless really, may as well have a go. (Unless you just let that odd bit add up to a lot! lol)

As someone with seemingly horrible luck, this seems like such a better option.

I think you'd all be better off leaving the lottos alone. It is gambling with ridiculous odds and when I saw it as a vendor I thought why the hell not. I actually feel a little bad having lottos on there.

That's why I made my prizes so high so that at least winners got something awesome.
